You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“John Heatherington is a true advocate, one who will walk alongside of you. He has made this time of transition one of the most stress free and enjoyable experiences as it could be. He works with hospice and so was able to just receive a call from them and picked up my husband promptly. Then he sat down and helped me make the arrangements that were awesome and very affordable for me. I knew all the services and costs involved in advance. I'm extremely grateful for his demeanor and knowledge. It was just a welcome ability to meet such a wonderful human being. Today I just was able to bring the urn up and he transferred my husband's ashes over to the urn and it was properly labeled. Completely just stress free, pleasant experience today. Certainly a lot less money than other relatives encured who have recently passed away, or purchased their plans. Lemley Chapel has the highest rating. 10 stars, if possible. They have full service. But what I appreciated was that many extras were included at no cost or very low cost. So for example, i was able to get the death certificates at just the rate that the state charges for them. I got them in the mail in days, which was nice for making appointments with life insurance agent (Two weeks faster than what he expected.) The Lemley staff also notified the social security for me right away. So that was another burden off my mind. If you have a need for Lemley services, you don't have to worry about looking for other places, because Lemley were at top ranking among others in the area for affordability and types of services available. This includes full chapel services, viewings, services with coordinated music and preachers, video remembrances, guest notification, website remembrance page and more. They just have a lot to offer and with people like John, I am so so grateful for the opportunity to have him at my side.”
